transportation market and related markets across the United States;
(B) the continuing race and gender discrimination described in subpara-
graph (A) merits the continuation of the disadvantaged business enterprise
program;
(C) recently, the disparities cause by discrimination against African
American, Hispanic American, Asian American, Native American, and
women business owners have been further exacerbated by the coronavirus
pandemic and its disproportionate effects on minority- and women-owned
businesses across the nation;
(D) Congress has received and reviewed testimony and documentation of
race and gender discrimination from numerous sources, including congres-
sional hearings and other investigative activities, scientific reports, reports
issued by public and private agencies at every level of government, news
reports, academic publications, reports of discrimination by organizations
and individuals, and discrimination lawsuits, which continue to dem-
onstrate that race- and gender-neutral efforts alone are insufficient to ad-
dress the problem;
(E) the testimony and documentation described in subparagraph (D) dem-
onstrate that discrimination across the United States poses an injurious
and enduring barrier to full and fair participation in surface transportation-

many aspects of surface transportation-related business in the public and
private markets; and

future climate scenarios as related to infrastructure planning and investment;
(4) how to incentivize and incorporate systems thinking into engineering de-
sign to maximize the benefits of multiple natural functions and emissions reduc-
tion, as well as regional planning;
(5) how to take account of the risks of cascading infrastructure failures and
develop more holistic approaches to evaluating and mitigating climate risks;
(6) how to ensure that investments in infrastructure resilience benefit all
communities, including communities of color, low-income communities and In-
dian Tribes that face a disproportionate risk from climate change and in many
cases have experienced long-standing unmet needs and underinvestment in crit-
ical infrastructure;
(7) how to incorporate capital assessment and planning training and tech-
niques, including a range of financing options to help local and State govern-
ments plan for and provide matching funds;
(8) how federal agencies can track and monitor federally funded resilient in-
frastructure in a coordinated fashion to help build the understanding of the
cost-benefit of resilient infrastructure and to build the capacity for imple-
menting resilient infrastructure; and
(9) the occupations, skillsets, training programs, competencies and recognized
postsecondary credentials that will be needed to implement such climate-resil-
ient transportation infrastructure projects, and how to ensure that any new jobs
created by such projects ensure that priority hiring considerations are given to
individuals facing barriers to employment, communities of color, low-income
communities and Indian Tribes that face a disproportionate risk from climate
change and have been excluded from job opportunities.

(A) methods that assist evacuation routes to—
(i) withstand the effects of hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces on
viability, including recommendations regarding appropriate drainage
structures or other flood prevention mechanisms to manage
stormwater, runoff, and the effect of storm surge;
(ii) withstand the risks that flammability poses to viability;
(iii) improve durability, strength (including the ability to withstand
tensile stresses and compressive stresses), and sustainability; and
(iv) provide for long-term cost savings;
(B) the ability of evacuation routes to effectively manage contraflow oper-
ations;
(C) for evacuation routes on public lands, the viewpoints of the applicable
Federal land management agency regarding emergency operations, sustain-
ability, and resource protection; and
(D) such other items the Administrator of the Federal Highway Adminis-
tration considers appropriate.
(3) REPORT.—In the case in which the Administrator of the Federal Highway

trator shall examine—
(A) the likelihood of Federal evacuation routes flooding during a 100-year,
500-year, and 1000-year weather event;
(B) whether Federal evacuation routes that have historically flooded have
recovered quickly from extreme weather events;
(C) the availability of alternative evacuation routes to accommodate the
flow of evacuees in the event of an evacuation route becoming impassable
due to flooding; and
(D) the impact of impassable evacuation routes on vulnerable individuals,
with consideration of the return of evacuees after an extreme weather
event, including—
(i) individuals with a physical or mental disability;
(ii) individuals in schools, daycare centers, mobile home parks, pris-
ons, nursing homes, and other long-term care facilities and detention
